Hey all, successfully rooted. I actually had clearance, I just wasnt paying attention to the #. new question though :D Do i download the rom to my phone or to my computer?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Download to your computer then place it on the sd card (not in a folder).

do not unzip the file.

This is why the video is no longer valid. The hack kit now uses rage for s-off but visionary for temp root. In previous versions of the hack kit, temp root and s-off were obtained using rage (as the video shows), and this directory would have been available. But since attn1 changed the kit to use visionary for temp root, this part of the video will no longer work.

I know you said you already got it working, but just for others who may encounter the same problem...

While searching through some sprint forums, I came across the admin stating this about those who have EB13:

The official Sprint OTA update is for devices on EB13 and will update your device to EC05. You should receive it by midnight CST.

I know people might think this is crap, but the one thing the admin gave away is the TIME ZONE. Now we know the time zone to base it on to see if it will come true.

Just a thought to get people a little more hopeful.

Here's the source: http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/273219
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Awesome... i dont see why a member of your status would lie ;)
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Thanks. I swear to you I'm not lying. ;)

I mean, my statement is just a theory, of course, based on a Sprint Admin (the one who actually posted the info all about the new update on the Sprint forums), so I'm taking his word for it.

Also, it being CST makes sense since the Sprint Headquarters is in the Midwest. (I think)

That being said, I think that confirms that the update is being run by Sprint, not the Google servers, like some had suggested.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Yep makes alot of sense and explains the texts everyones been getting.

Thanks for posting bro.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
No problem. Since I live in the Midwest, it's easier to keep track of the time :P

For those who don't live in the Midwest, it is currently 9:00.

Only 3 more hours until we all get EC05, or Sprint had lied :rolleyes:

Edit: Holy crap, I think I might be getting it right now O_O

It's checking for the software update, and it's taking way longer than usual. I know it's checking correctly because whenever you check for any update, the little "3G" icon in the notification bar disappears. I'll let it keep loading for a while. *FINGERS CROSSED*

Edit2: False Alarm... :( (no shocker really)
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
It's update android, not firmware. It's not coming tonight, it's not available.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Alright, well:

1. You have to click "Update Firmware" and then the System Updates section will show it downloading.

2. It IS available; people on DI18 already have it. Sprint claims EB13 will get it too. Maybe not today, but one can only hope right?

Look, the best way to look at a situation like this is to be optimistic, and that is what I am attempting to do. Sure I might be wrong or get my hopes up, but sometimes the feeling of having the optimism is enough.

So please, don't just make statements like that. I know you weren't intending to bash me or anything, but having that negativity does not help.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
So odin back to di18 and check for the update to see what happens.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Updating to 05 via 13 IS NOT AVAILABLE AND WILL NOT BE THIS WEEK.

Look at the 13 update, it came out for 18 alone, and then days later was pulled. NOTHING else dropped. Samsung does not give a $hit about current customers, and it's not going to change tonight, or tomorrow for that matter.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
What are you basing this on?
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
The facts -10char-
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Agreed. I just checked three forums posted by Sprint admins that confirmed ALL SOFTWARE VERSIONS WILL BE UPGRADED TO EC05 BY END OF TODAY.

Now I agree with you that we may not get it TODAY, but we will get it EVENTUALLY. And @dbpaddler, I would but I have a Mac, and do not feel like wiping my data. Also, I do not want to do the Root method because if I root my phone I want to put ext4/cwm3 on it, not cwm2.5. (I realize I can update, but not worth the hassle in my opinion)

This was just posted today:

UPDATE 3/24/11

: Updates from older versions are now available via OTA. If you are on any of the previous releases (not including the leaked DK28 release), you will receive a notification to update...still following

up on whether these will be step releases (DG27 to DI07 to DI18, etc.) or if they will be from the old release directly to the current (for example, DG27 to EC05).

[Epic 4G General] ultra78721:
I did that and the first thing it wanted to do, is the voice mail update :o
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Can you site a source of your "facts" that specifically say there will be no update from EB13 to EC05, or should we just call this a vent (maybe even a troll) and end it here?
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
You people act like this would be the first time sprint said something that didn't come true. Hell, the Epic was coming with FROYO since November. It's only 4 months later, and they still aren't shipping froyo on the phones, and it came out in what, last may?

Facts? Yes, how about the FACT that it WAS stated that 18 and 13 were BOTH getting 05, then it changed it changed to 18 getting it, and 13 by 1am est, NOW it's changed to 3 previous getting the update? However, the FACT still stands, only 18 is getting 05. Everything I've posted is FACT, the only one inferred was that it's not coming tonight.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Agreed. I don't want this to be a back-and-forth argument.

However, if you can cite a source proving your statements, I would accept them and be on my way.

Edit: @NoSoMo, look, I understand why you're feeling like that. However, it is Samsung who is developing the software, not Sprint. Samsung develops, Sprint delivers. Besides, people already have EC05, which means Sprint ISN'T LYING.

We will get it in due time, and if we don't, then I would just odin to get it.

Please don't get angered by this; I don't want an argument. I agree with you; most likely we will not get it today. But I do believe we will within this week (Sunday, if we're that unlucky)
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
You state that it is not available (assumed currently), which is a fact as of this minute. You then make a very bold FACTUAL claim that it will not be available this week. I am asking you to site the source of this FACT. There are people that read this forum for FACTUAL information, and when you make a statement like that, it is going to freak people out, POSSIBLY FOR NO REASON.

If you would have said "and I bet it won't be available at all this week", or "watch it not be available at all this week", that is an opinion, and that is cool. You made a FACTUAL statement off of what DOCUMENTED FACT???

In the end you could very well be right, but not because of fact, but because you took a chance and got lucky, I am just asking you to take a little responsibility in what you post on forums, especially about such a hot topic.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
You bring out a good point Milkman, although a little too argumental (I'm trying to keep some tranquility here :p)

@NoSoMo, he's right. You are basing everything on opinion and past events that make you believe Sprint will not deliver their promise. An inference is fine, but please reword it so you don't say "facts".

Guys, look. I didn't want all of this to turn into an argument. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Please, I do not want a flame war. Can we all agree to drop this?

I just got tired of waiting so I went to Androidcentral and and used their rom and flashed from EB13 to EC05. It worked great and I didn't lose any data. http://forum.androidcentral.com/epi...ooted-cwm-v2-5-1-0-rfs-odexed.html#post761525
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I'd do that if I could, but I have a mac and no availability to a PC as of now. Also, I would prefer to root my phone to ext4/cwm3 (I realize you can just update over it, but eh, I'm more comfortable with my own preferences)
[Epic 4G General] jephro:
Ok, this is driving me nuts... why are people so up in arms about getting the update via sprints OTA? People wanting to odin back to di18 to wait and complain that you don't have it. If you can odin, you don't need to wait for sprint.

What is so different about getting the update OTA?

It's the same build... right? Not trying to piss anyone off, I almost did it myself... but why??
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Well, I'll be honest: I get excited over any kind of update :D

And I'm curious to try the new Sprint ID out; trying new things is what keeps me entertained about my phone.

I know what you're saying like "It's not a big deal. It's just a freaking update..." but everyone has a different way of looking at it.
[Epic 4G General] gclark1979:
Just tried to update firmware (something I've done more than 10 times today) and it's now giving me an error message. Any ideas??? This is after I rebooted my phone and got the"coming soon notification"
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I kept it civil in my original inquiry, but based on the response, I felt I needed to be a little blunt.

Anyway, the sad thing is, that I think in the end he will probably be right. Samsung and Sprint should BOTH be ashamed of themselves with this whole Froyo fiasco for the Epic. I don't blame ANYONE for any sour grapes, as I have them myself (BIG TIME). But when making a post, I try to keep things in perspective, and if I do vent, or say anything negative, I try to do it responsibly.
[Epic 4G General] jephro:
Yea, I think we all get excited...;) I even dl'd the files and was about to go back to di18, but I get paid to brew beer not flash my phone 8 times a day (not that I have ever done that, no not me.. ok.. yes me).:o

Midnight BYOR v5 has sprint ID in the extras folder. It's almost like a theme or mod you'd find here. Probably pretty cool for the avg user but compared to what we can do with the help ov all the dev's... well its honestly pretty lame.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Don't worry about the error message; I've been getting it for a while now. And if you don't get it via OTA, then I'm sure someone who does will post an OTA ;)

I agree completely. Couldn't have said it better myself. And I respect your bluntness, I just found it a little too much :D

I know. It probably will be pretty lame to me, but I like I said, it's just something new to try and will keep me busy for a couple of hours.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
This isn't my first day on the job...... It doesn't take much sort though the BS that is put out by S&S. I based my statement on prior performance of both companies and the fact that the ONLY update for the past 48hrs has been 18 to 05. It's been promised by 1a est, and NOBODY has it, even 30% closer to that time.

I think it funny that one dare refute my comment based on NOTHING, WHAT SO EVER. I said what I said because it's how EVERYTHING has transpired thus far. I'd put money on my statement that it's not coming tonight.

[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
Actually, it's just kinda sad that people can get this upset and argumentative about a few days of when an update will reach their phones. And to what's his face (don't feel like reading back) about the whole, they don't care blah blah blah. Seriously, who gives a rat's *ss about him being right or wrong.

This is comical. Grown men waiting for updates which will provide nothing extraordinary.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
We're not talking about the 18 to 05

I think it's the lies that have been told more than anything. The past several weeks there have been numerous b|tching posts on here, and they've been old. I've done my share of it a while back, but now I just look at it realistically. I'm happy with EB13 except the painfully slow rotation, and a slight increase in battery drain. There's no excuse for the complete lack of support from Samsung and Sprint. The Epic was one of the highest priced phones to ever be sold....$250 w/ 2yr......and there just is not a SINGLE excuse for not supporting the phone and issuing the software update after 7 months of the phones release, when the phone came out 3 months AFTER FROYO dropped. The Epic should have come with 2.2, and EC05 should be 2.3. /rant

1. Have DI18

2. Rename this file to update
[Epic 4G General] garr741:
Just a thought, if OTA's are distributed randomly, by some unknown method only known by Google/Sprint servers, then it is safe to say that Google/Sprint knows who legitly, through an OTA update, has EB13? Because if that's true, then maybe, according to the Google/Sprint servers, those who updated to EB13 through Odin or the update.zip file posted here on XDA may not be recognized to receive an update at all. Y'all get what I'm saying? lol

[Epic 4G General] Slovak65:
I called Sprint last night about why us folks with EB13 are not getting the update to EC05 like everyone that has DI18. Well after almost 30 minutes on the phone I was told that unfortunately those of us that are on EB13 and have not received the EC05 update yet will have to bring our phones to a Sprint store to have sprint load EC05 on our phones. They said there is a problem that they can't figure out as to why EB13 folks aren't receiving the ota update.

Well that's a bunch a bs I told him, got off the phone, odin'd back to DI18, and updated to EC05, the hell with Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Translation:: We're too lazy to make an EB13 to EC05 update, so if you bring your phone in, we will tell you that it will be a quick easy process, but in reality, it will wipe all data on your phone just as if you personally put DI18 back on and then ran the update. Oh, and NoSoMo is right that there isn't an EB13 to EC05 update :rolleyes:

There is also the update from the other forum of which I wouldn't trust.... "Here, I have a special file for your phone so you can update your entire OS. I know you probably use your phone for banking, private pictures, emails, and numerous other personal items, but this OS update is safe for your 'always connected to the internet' device!"
[Epic 4G General] HeisRisen:
This is the truth, and when I spoke to my friend the tech, he said they have been instructed just to put eb13 phones back to DI18 to receive the EC05 update until they can get them an executable.
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
So that is more reason to go to androidcentral and get the EB13 to EC05 update. I did it and it works great.
[Epic 4G General] peridoc:
So, if you go to androidcentral and upgrade will you get future updates from sprint since it is root? Or will you have to manually update in the future? If you want future updates from Sprint would you need to odin back to DI18 and then update non-root to EC05? Just want to understand the future implications as I have never messed with root. Thanks forany help.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Just spoke to a Sprint tech. He said there was nothing said about a problem going from eb to ec. May just be that di goes first since they never got the original.
[Epic 4G General] Duratime:
I think there has been some issues with the removal of the stock apps, such as the Asphalt demo. Not having it can cause you not to be able to update through Sprint. I looked through my phone and see that the Asphalt 5 demo is removed with the Android Central method, but I had it removed on EB13 and in preparation for the OTA update reinstalled it with Root Explorer. Since I didn't wait for the OTA, I don't even know if it is necessary. I have a copy of the Asphalt 5apk on my computer, so I can always reinstall if necessary. I cannot remember on what post or even what forum I found that, but maybe somebody else can provide a link. I'm a total noob at this, and I had no issues, so go for it. :)
[Epic 4G General] InhumanElmo:
Once again, they failed to execute another update. This should have been done reverse. The users with EB13 should have been updated first due to the issues. DI18 was a solid enough build that it could have held out. The updates should have been prepared prior to the announcement of a final date. Whoever is responsible, if its samsung or sprint, has seriously dropped the ball. The two updates (EB13-EC05, DI18-EC05) should have been in development side by side and pushed out in the correct order. EB13 should have been updated first to correct the first mistake. Most of the consumers with DI18 didn't know that a update was coming untill they saw the message. They should have cleaned up their mess first, update everyone else, and start with a clean slate. Once everyone (except those that dont) has updated if any problems should arise they can work forward. I am sure that most of this is due to the fact that they are working from eclair to froyo, but the EB13 users update shouldn't be that difficult to do because its more of a maintenence update than anything. The biggest issue is that they said everyone would be updated. So far this hasn't been the case. And if we have to go to a sprint store and lose our data (not rooted so don't tell me titanium or whatever) its completely unfair and uncalled for. Well I'm going to wait a couple more days and see if I can get an official update for my never rooted epic. Once CM7 gets the OK from cyanogen and it hits a RC or final I will probably jump ship and do that.

Hi Everyone,

First time poster. I tried installing the EC05 update when I received the system notification from Sprint. Basically I clicked the button to start the installation, set the phone down, and walked away. The next time I looked at my phone I saw the following:

E:Error in /cache/5f372cb40834.update-SPH-D700_DI18ToEC05.zip

And my phone appears to be frozen there. I have not attempted anything yet. I'm hesitant to contact Sprint because I had applied the 1-click clockwork mod to root my phone. Any advice on how I should proceed is appreciated.

Having root doesn't affect whether you get an update or not. Root is nothing more than having super permission. Its custom recovery, kernels and roms that will stop the ota from installing and sometimes from even appearing.
